We are deeply saddened to receive the news of Mike’s passing. So many fond memories of our younger days growing up in the 50s and 60s in St Pancras, where Scouting and Guiding was a huge part of our youth. Was it coincidence that we all ended up settling down and raising our families on the other side of the world in New Zealand? With deepest condolences and love to you Yvonne, Mark, Joanne and families. Rest in peace Mike. John, Ann and all the Jackson gang. 💕
This was really sad news received yesterday. I have great memories from my close time being with Mike and Yvonne during our Scouting times. He's always being caring, welcoming and willing to help in any way and at any time. Although time has passed, and we went our separate ways (which life takes us) you've never been forgotten and never will. Go well Mike and meet up with all your doggie family. To the family, thank you for letting me know. Lynne
